Thank you.

I'm Tony Clement, Parry Sound—Muskoka. Thank you, Minister, for attending the committee.

I wanted to turn to shipbuilding, if I might. You referenced it in your remarks.

Construction on the joint support ships was supposed to begin by the end of the year. That was the original plan by the former government, but according to documents provided by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the delivery schedules for the supply ships and the icebreaker are currently unavailable. When do you expect construction to begin on the joint support ships?
